Canadian singer The Weeknd has become the second most-decorated person at the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys ‘Juno Awards’.
The Weeknd picked up four wins at their pre-show Opening Night Awards ‘Artist Of The Year’, ‘Single Of The Year’, ‘Songwriter Of The Year’, and ‘Album Of The Year’ — which had him outperforming Celine Dion and tying with Bryan Adams with 21 wins.
At the proper Juno Awards ceremony, he picked up an award for Album Of The Year for last year’s DAWN FM. The Weeknd was nominated for and won his first Juno Awards in 2013, when he was named Breakthrough Artist Of The Year and his Trilogy compendium picked up R&B/Soul Recording Of The Year. He has 41 total nominations.

Moreover last week, The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s ‘Die for You’ bounded from No. 6 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, after Grande joined for its remix. The song reigns after it was originally released on The Weeknd’s album Starboy in 2016, before it was revived in recent months thanks in part to interaction on TikTok, which helped spark new promotion to radio and streaming services.
